Chris Webber Short Wiki
This Five-time NBA All-star champion is also the same time all NBA team member. And another feather to the cap is that he was Rookie of the year in NBA.
Webber did not play much basketball until his sixth grade. With a little idea of the game, he joined a summer basketball program. Webber almost quit because the other kids teased him for his awkwardness. A local coach helped him and spent hours working with him to improve his performance. This mentorship came a long way much later in his professional career.
In 1986 he won the city championship in Riverside Middle school. His high school team of Detroit Country Day won three high school basketball championships, and he got the national high school basketball champion of the year idol. The basketball star led the school to three state basketball championships. In 1991 he was named Michigan’s Mr. Basketball and National High School Player of the Year.

A federal grand jury charged Webber, and the NCAA took all his All-American honor as a result of him being a part of Ed Martin scandal. Chris later played remarkably well and gained popularity in national games.
